"It's the sort of book which children have to plead with the adults to let them have a look at. Everything about it is superb. Highly recommended." -- The Bookbag.co.uk Being able to identify a bird's song is a skill that brings joy and fosters an appreciation of nature. Learning how to differentiate between the songs of a house finch and a goldfinch, however, is not easy. That is where this enchanting book comes into its own. It features recordings of twelve bird songs from some of the best-known garden bird species seen and heard across North America. This is an interactive board book designed for any age with features for young readers. The board pages are easy to turn. The twelve song buttons are easy to activate and each bears a portrait of the singing bird. The high-quality sound module is encased in durable plastic, and the one-inch (3 cm) speaker makes it easy to hear and differentiate the elements of a bird's song, like pitch, tempo, whistles, trills and buzzes. All twelve birds have winter or summer ranges in the United States and Canada. This means that readers are sure to see most if not all the birds. The song birds are: House Wren Red-winged Blackbird House Finch Great Horned Owl Blue Jay Northern Cardinal American Crow Song Sparrow American Goldfinch Killdeer American Robin Mourning Dove. This charming book is a fun (and potentially addictive) way for all ages to delight in nature's winged singers. It's a winning gift for any occasion, from a child's birthday to a hostess gift. Review: Grandson loves his bird sound book! - I bought this for my little grandson. He loves to watch the birds on his front porch come and eat from the feeder there. He's four now and still loves this book after several years. The sounds are perfect. The pictures are engaging and accurate and the text is just enough to get to know each bird a little better. Great gift for your nature explorer/lover! Review: Perfect Bird Board Book - I got this for my one year old granddaughter who loves birds. I wanted a book that provided sounds of birds we would see but it needed to be durable. This is perfect. She loves to look at the pictures and hear the bird calls.

Gorgeous book with beautiful sounds
Got this book for our toddler as she’s fascinated by the animals surrounding our house. In this book, every bird gets a 2-page spread including a gorgeous—and detailed—image of the bird, a description about the bird, stats, and a little fun fact. As an audio engineer, I appreciate both the quality and clarity of the recordings of the birds’ songs; all sound absolutely fantastic (to nitpick: the Owl’s ‘hoot’ is a tad distorted, but not annoyingly so). In fact, the sounds fooled our cat and he came running towards the book whenever bird sounds came from book. If you have a curious child (which you do ;)), get this book!

Wow- amazing find!
Got this for my 9yr old daughter who recently got into birds. The sound quality is simply fantastic! This is a great selection of birds, many of which we have seen or heard in our neighborhood. Also, the info on each is thoughtful and fascinating- I’ve learned things I didn’t know. She loves reading about each bird and solidifying that knowledge by listening to the bird’s sound. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

Not a baby’s book
This was for my granddaughter who hikes and has shown an interest in birdwatching. When it arrived, it was plastic wrapped so the book was in pristine condition, but I couldn’t help myself and opened it to peruse and “listen”. Absolutely stunning in all respects!! Great quality, beautiful illustrations, interesting and factual. But the birdsongs are the most captivating of all. Love everything about this book!

This is absolutely brilliant! A wonderful book for both children and adult ...
If I could give this book 6 stars, I would! This is absolutely brilliant! A wonderful book for both children and adult beginner ornithologists. There are 12 common backyard birds found in this volume. For each bird, there is circle with its head shot that you press to hear its song. The sound is very clear and accurate. The pages are thick, like a board book. Each bird has a 2 page spread - one side has a full color, realistic picture of the entire bird, and a "Did you know?" The opposite page has the common name of the bird, the Latin name, a short, well written paragraph of basic interesting information, then a list of information following this format: 'Found In' - 'Feeds On' - 'Nest' - 'Eggs' - 'Adults' - 'Length' The background of each spread is gorgeously illustrated, yet subtle. The background reflects commonly related things to that specific bird, adding visual knowledge to help with later identification. It is a work of art as well as a good bird book. I hope they make another volume!

Great book!
I bought this book because my class is showing interest in bird watching. This book is stunning! It gives a bit of a story and facts about the birds and the illustrations are beautiful and the bird sounds are perfect! The children now press the buttons and they recall where they heard thay bird call or saw that bird. I would highly recommend this book! It is perfect for children of any age as it is a board book, is interactive and informative for older children.

Info, sights, and sounds of common wild birds
This is a board book with good overview descriptions of twelve common wild birds. As a bonus, the buttons on the right give clear reproductions of each bird's call. Even my cat likes this book. Great for all ages!

Quality product but disappointed.
We have the previous two books in this series and both are excellent, this one is of the same quality. However, the content is not for the uk market. The online review in the description is a bit misleading saying "what's best is these are ones you find right outside your door!" I shall be returning this book.
